INTRODUCTION:

Use of the Inter-partes / Exparte Review is an attempt to invalidate the asserted patent and can lead to stay of the patent litigation, which may offer strategic cost advantage. In recent years, re-examination has been increasingly used as an avenue to invalidate a patent in light of prior arts not known or appreciated at the time of examination.
